Ford stopped installing drain plugs in August, 2001. If your torque converter was built after that it doesn't have a drain plug.

His profile shows 1999 F250 so it should have a drain on the converter.

The old TH-400s found in a lot of GM cars and trucks had a procedure where you drilled a small hole to drain the TC. You then used a pop rivet coated with RTV sealer to plug the hole.

It was (at best) a half-fast procedure.

(You have to say that sentence out loud to get the full effect)
